Hot on the heels of the first for VC55 and Leicestershire, this one was taken at MV light and is the first for Rutland.

This individual was found resting on an external window of a factory, possibly after having been attracted by industrial lighting.
It is the first record for VC55, and prior to 2006 would have been considered a most unlikely addition to the VC list as it is a rare immigrant. However there was a distinct influx in September 2006 with other inland records including from Northamptonshire.
